Biomarkers explained

Testosterone

You may need this test to find out whether a low sex drive is caused by a low level of testosterone. In recent years, healthcare providers have used testosterone therapy to treat both men and women with low sex drives.

Men with low levels of testosterone (hypogonadism) may have:

• Loss of sex drive
• Low energy
• Bone loss
• Infertility

The test is also done for men with andropause, or late-onset hypogonadism. This is a condition caused by decreased testosterone. Men with this condition may have:

• Anemia
• Depression
• Decreased bone density
• Lack of energy or fatigue
• Loss of muscle mass
• Poor concentration
• Erectile dysfunction or inability to have an orgasm
• Infertility

Common symptoms of low testosterone in women include:

• low sex drive
• infertility
• irregular menstrual periods

Low testosterone might also lead to mood and mental health issues in both men and women.
